How to Make Mouth-Watering Golden Pancakes from Scratch

This is meant to be a unique recipe in order for you to
create delicious pancakes from scratch that actually taste like a delicious
breakfast treat. Depending on how many people you are cooking for, you may want
to add or subtract to the ingredients, but once you get accustomed to the
method behind making these pancakes it should become pretty straight forward.

The desired taste of the pancakes will be delicious and
mouth-watering like being in a first class breakfast diner. The desired
presentation should be golden brown pancakes that scream "eat me!"

First, take out a skillet or cooking pan of choice, coat it
with non-stick cooking spray so that the pancakes can be flipped easier, and
heat it up to about low-medium to medium heat depending on your stove. [You'll
know when the pan is golden pancake ready by dripping a little water on it. If
it jumps and sizzles immediately, then the pan is heated properly and is ready
for the pancake batter.]

Second, mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add in
flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar and mix all of the ingredients together
thoroughly.

Third, put butter into the microwave and heat it until it
becomes soft enough to be mixed in with the rest of the batter. Also, break egg
into a separate bowl and slightly whisk.

Fourth, after butter is warm and soft and the egg is
whisked, add them with the other ingredients. At the same time, add the rest of
the ingredients together and mix together. This includes the milk/cream and
lemon extract. The desired batter consistency should look and feel slightly
thick, but do not over mix as this will make the batter too tough.

Cooking:

If you've been sure to do the water test, you should know
whether or not your skillet is hot and ready. The reason why you want your
skillet to be heated properly is to get that golden brown effect of the
pancakes. If you pour the batter and the pan is not ready, your pancakes will
suck. Seriously, they will. We're going for both deliciousness and that golden
brown presentation.

So now that your pan is all hot and ready; use slightly less
than 1/4 cup dry measurement and pour the pancake batter onto the cooking pan. If
the pan is heated to perfection, the pancakes should not take very long to
become golden brown.

After a little over a minute or when they begin to bubble
slightly, begin to flip the pancake with a frying spatula first by scooping the
sides of the pancakes to loosen them a bit, and then slide the spatula under
them. Quickly flip it on the other side and allow it to cook on that end as
well for a little under 2 minutes.

Just continue this process with each new pancake and you
should be fine. Remember, don't leave them on too long or else they'll become
too dark and burned. Also, if you find that one side needs more cooking, just
flip it back over and let the pan do its work. Use your own taste and cooking
discretions.

If you want to fancy it up a bit, you can add something
extra to the ingredients such as cinnamon, chocolate chips, bananas,
blueberries, or even apple sauce. This recipe can be customized to your choice
so you can perfect it for you and your audience and make up a fancy name for
it!
